What Dr Kath McCullough has said
“'Maternal obesity is one of the clearest signs that we need to tackle the root causes of obesity and weight gain, recognising the benefits not only for pregnancy but also women's health and future generations. We need bold, joined-up action across the system – from food policy and education to healthcare services, professional training and research to better prevent obesity in the first place and better support women living with obesity in the pre- and postnatal periods.'”
